loom bands

Post by opas »

This new craze is a bit strange to me, but then so was the scobidoo plastic string stuff that was the rage when my eldest girl was about 10 years old.

I have done 2 changeovers this weekend and in both properties I was picking these tiny elastic bands up from under beds and down sofa cushions but more dangerously I went flying on a couple that mingled in hallway tiles.

Has anyone on here made a bikini out of them yet :lol: I did see that someone had made a dress from them.........

Every child has them here in UK but only saw them on a market stall once in last couple of weeks while I was over.

.........

Brilliant idea. Just what I need: an elastic dress - stretches when I've had a good meal.

I think insead of sucking them into the vac or picking them up, I should have saved them. I could have made mr O a thong or a mankini :oops:

At least another 20 on yesterdays changeover, or perhaps instead of a thong I could make a tapestry type notice, requesting guests to wash away their own two weeks worth of toothpaste spit off the sinks :evil:
But that's another thread!

Its when they get the toothpaste the full height of a 3 foot over sink mirror that you question what they do!

New thread needed.
But here goes.
Two weeks ago, same house, four lovely new towels appeared, I alerted owner incase guests had left them by accident. I hid them on the property. Made up enough beds requested by guests in separate ,1 double and 2 separate single rooms.

Yesterday, 3 of towels left by prevous guests had dsapeared along with one of owners towels.
I have just ironed 4 duvet covers 1 double and 1 sindle sheet. Note I made up 3 beds.and folded 5white towels( these were also in with the spare bedding.

Numerous loom bands, broken biros and at least a packet of crisp s between 3 rooms later. It makes you wonder about their own homes doesn't it.
